What’s the difference between unlock and vesting schedules? Do projects really need to think about them separately? We get this question a lot from projects, especially those that don't come from a Web2 background and haven't been exposed to traditional equity vesting. True "vesting" schedules define the gradual transfer of legal ownership over a specific asset, usually starting on the first date of employment, and is written into a legal restricted token grant, restricted token unit, token option agreement, or other types of token awards. Unlock schedules in crypto broadly define the actual transfer of tokens from the project to a recipient over time, starting at TGE. They're much more flexible, and can apply to just about any stakeholder including employees, investors, community members, and even the project's own treasury – each category of stakeholder usually on its own unlock schedule. Unlock schedules are often used to control sell pressure and align stakeholders long-term. People in the space often say "token vesting" to generally mean any distribution of tokens to a recipient on a specific schedule, but it's important to know the difference between true legal vesting and other types of scheduled distribution. In this week’s blog post, we’ll break down the key differences between vesting and unlock schedules, and explain when and why either (or both!) may apply. Read it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_XH6m2Y

A common shady practice in the financial industry is the use of proprietary mutual funds in client accounts, often without the client's understanding (giving someone 50 disclosures they won't reliably understand is not sufficient, folks!). These funds create an enormous conflict of interest because the hidden fees which would normally be split between the brokerage (e.g. Merrill Lynch) and the fund company (e.g. BlackRock) instead all goes directly or indirectly to the brokerage, and the sales rep *may* get a higher kickback or commission as a result of using the proprietary fund. The potential benefit is that sometimes the overall cost to the client is lower, but the conflict of interest is still present. Sometimes the fund is named after the company, so the practice is at least transparent (Vanguard, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity do this, along with some others) A few examples of this: -New York Life owns MainStay funds -Edward Jones owns Bridge Builder funds -Capital Group owns American Funds These are just the ones at the top of my mind because I've seen them in the last year before transferring them to my management and selling those funds, but there are probably many more. A red flag to watch out for is when all the funds in your account are from the same company. It's possible the advisor has an uncompensated affinity for the fund company, but it's also possible there are incentives to select that fund company over others. If you are in a situation where you're invested in proprietary mutual funds, or you think your current advisor may be getting kickbacks based on your investments, looking at an alternative may be worthwhile! Sales pitch time: I work as a pure fiduciary, meaning I don't get paid one penny more based on the type of investments used in your account, and you should seriously consider whether you prefer that fiduciary arrangement, or the sales-centered approach offered at many of these other companies.
